Case Study: a global energy company improves refinery productivity with KBC A Yokogawa Company’s Petro-SIM digital twin

Digital Twin provides a single source of truth, driving alignment decisions and actions across the value chain

KBC A Yokogawa Company worked with Global Energy Company, a global energy company in Europe operating upstream facilities and a large refinery network, to improve production planning and optimization. The company needed a more accurate and frequently updated way to generate LP vectors for its complex linear programming models, while also supporting its broader digitalization and decarbonization goals.

KBC A Yokogawa Company implemented a Petro-SIM digital twin with customized displays and PI historian connectivity to create a single source of truth across the refinery. The solution automated data collection and processing, improved LP vector monitoring, and helped users validate data, recalibrate the model, and update LPs more quickly, resulting in better alignment, faster decision-making, and improved efficiency and productivity.
